Notably: George Hanns hasn’t lost a step. The former county commissioner–he served 24 years–was known for his wry one-liners, back when government had a sense of humor. That ended for good in Flagler County with the departure of Bob Cuff in 2020 from the Palm Coast City Council. Maybe that’s what Hanns had in mind when he appeared before the council last Tuesday, as all that talk of a building moratorium had everyone fevered up. I’m not exactly sure what Hanns intended to say. But when he was signaled that his time was up, he said: “I’ll just mention to you, people on this council, that next time you have a disagreement with your spouse, you tell them they have three minutes to respond.”

Lower Manhattan was like the jaw of a shark for the whole of its modern history, with long, toothlike piers jutting out at the end of every east/west street. “Your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs,” Herman Melville wrote of it in Moby-Dick. But then Manhattan gave up its ships and longshoremen and their huge hawser ropes, all of them gone elsewhere by the late 1960s, and with them over the next twenty years went the piers that had given the city a salty brawn it has lacked ever since. I remembered from my cab-driving days what a bacchanalia those piers played host to every summer as they slowly collapsed into the river, but today the whole of the lower island along the Hudson has been scrubbed of protuberances and indentations. There is but one place to land a boat, a snug little harbor for rich yacht people called the North Cove Marina. I had called ahead for permission to come ashore there and the manager, Mike Revier, shot back a note: “North Cove would be happy to provide you a landing in Manhattan. At no charge, of course.”

the radical left wants what healthcare, human rights, nature? The radical Nazi right wants your tax money , to install an authoritarian government for more money and to help your enemies, and screw your allies? You voted for it so now bow down to mother Russia. Voter suppression, gerrymandering,and bribery is all it took to end an empire.

The occupier of our WH was absolutely enthralled with the spurious judicial rulings of federal judge Eileen Cannon, the FL judge assigned to handle the Mar-A-Lago classified documents case. He even went so far as to say that it should be illegal for people to question her judicial rulings! But, of course like is always the case with drumph, he only likes those judges and those judicial rulings that are favorable to him. Every other judge is a so-called “radical, left wing lunatic” like W.S. District Judge Boasberg. Judge Boasberg has a very distinguished judicial record, one that shows he is no liberal. He was initially appointed to the federal bench by President George H. W. Bush. He was the one who ruled against Hillary Clinton in her emails case. There have been an overwhelming number of federal court decisions by various federal courts that have ruled against the president and the extreme actions he has been unilaterally taking in the last couple of months. So I am hopeful that the federal judiciary as a whole is going to continue to stand up for the law and stand up for our U.S. Constitution, both of which are under attack as drumph intensifies he efforts to morph the presidency into his personal kingdom ruling dictatorship.
